Senator Specter Should Not Serve as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee
It appears that the President’s desire to reign in activist judges who force their liberal agenda on the American public is headed to the ash heap if pro-choice Republican Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania has his way.
Specter is in line to be elected Chairman of the Judiciary Committee unless Republican Senators vote otherwise. According to the Associated Press, Specter "bluntly warned the newly re-elected President Bush today against putting forth Supreme Court nominees who would seek to overturn abortion rights or are otherwise too conservative to win confirmation." Sen. Specter even hinted that if the nominee is "too conservative" it could result in a filibuster.
All appointments of Federal judges, including the Supreme Court, must go through the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Chairman can elect to call up a nominee or refuse to do so.
